Easy Digital Downloads Purchase Limit Addon 1.3.1
Easy Digital Downloads Purchase Limit Addon lets you cap purchases per product, so you can restrict access after a set number of sales. Ideal for licensing or time-based releases, it gives you precise control and protects digital files. Quick to install, with simple per-product limits, explore how it fits your WordPress workflow.
Description
The Easy Digital Downloads Purchase Limit Addon is a WordPress plugin for Easy Digital Downloads stores that need tighter control over digital sales. It lets you set purchase caps on a per-product basis, helping you restrict access after a defined number of sales. Instead of manually managing downloads or availability, you can define limits directly in your EDD workflow. This is especially useful when you want to honor licensing rules or limit how many times a specific file can be purchased.
Once a product reaches its configured limit, the addon can disable further purchases for that file, reducing misuse and keeping distribution aligned with your intended release policy.
Main Features
- Per-product purchase limits — Set a maximum number of purchases for each Easy Digital Downloads item.
- Disable after limit is reached — Prevent additional buyers from purchasing the file once the cap is met.
- Simple admin configuration — Add and manage limits from the WordPress dashboard without complex setup.
- Works with Easy Digital Downloads — Designed specifically to extend EDD product purchase behavior.
- Precise access control — Apply restrictions at the individual download level, not globally.
